Abstract
Stenosis of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) due to extrinsic compression, producing symptoms of myocardial ischemia, is called left main compression syndrome. We report on a 43-year-old male with acute coronary syndrome who developed left main compression syndrome while waiting for a lung transplantation secondary to interstitial pneumonia, but underwent successful LMCA stenting as emergent treatment. Coronary angiography 3 months after the operation showed good stent patency in the LMCA, and the clinical course was favorable.Entities:
